Virginia lawmakers on Monday rejected a gun control bill proposed by Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, as the state continues to become the battleground in the nation's gun debate.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted against Northam's bill that would make it a felony to "recklessly leave a loaded, unsecured firearm” in a way that endangers a minor.

“This bill will keep children safe from loaded, unsecured firearms. Like Gov. Northam’s other commonsense gun safety measures, it is something that everyone -- including responsible gun owners -- should support,” said Northam’s spokeswoman, Alena Yarmosky.

Too vague. The courts would have struck it down ... after the state spent a lot of taxpayer's money to defend it.

Keep up the pressure on lunatic Gov. Northam (Virginia’s own Dr. Mengele; black-face racist, dimwit con-artist, and liar).

We really grow them down here - KAINE - a complete idiot (looks like one of the good alien creatures in “Galaxy Quest” but less smart, just lucky); McAuliffe, an out of state import of the Clinton Machine - he should have been put in jail instead of office; Sen. Warner - a few brain cells short of imbecile. And the list grows longer.

No, they are insane. The leftist, hateful democrats just know to play the long game. These laws will be passed into law some day when no one is looking.
